I mean on the actually anode, what is the usual net charge around? How many extra electrons to protons are there? The reason I ask is because I'm confused what causes the voltage, is it the higher charge density relative to the other plate?

If CCA can be translated directly to Amps then would I be able to run the battery at max capacity for only 3.6 minutes? 18 / 300 * 60 = 3.6 Minutes? Or am I looking at something wrong?

So I understand that a battery consists of an anode, cathode, and electrolyte. Question: What is the function of the electrolyte? Can we use a conductor instead of an electrolyte like some kind of metal? If so, why don't we? Now for a penny and nickel battery stacked on top of each other you...

Consider a wire connected to a battery. Now,potential is analogous to the energy of the particles.And potential in a resistor drops because of the friction inside the resistor(considering there is no friction along the wire and outside the resistor).So the friction determines how much energy is...

Considering that the electric field exist outside a battery in a wire,shouldnt the potential drop while we move along the wire even if there is no resistor(E=grad(V))?Because when i see diagrams of potential along the wire,they all show a constant potential along the wire until it reaches a...

Correct me if I'm wrong,but a battery's electric field is like an electric field of a capacitor consisting of two plates.But we know that the electric field outside the two plates is zero.So why does an electric field form outside the battery and into the circuit?

Anyone know what the specification of EU1L is in a garden tractor battery? I am assuming "U" is utility, and "L" is the positive terminal post faces left viewing the battery's face or front. If so, what is the "E" and "1"?

Hi, does anyone know if this is possible? It's a large tv and would use about 500w, I was hoping to use a 48V100ah lithium battery pack.

Hello Guys and Girls, I wanted to know if my HYBRID HONDA CIVIC 2010 would still start up and run if my hybrid battery pack dies ? If it gets started and i am able to drive it, will it affect the car anyhow (apart from few MPG less) on a long term ? Thanks in advance. N.R.

Let me start by saying that the point of this question is to figure out if I can do this with items on hand instead of buying a UPS. I have a cable modem and wireless router which require 12V 750mA and 12V 1000mA respectively. In the event of a power outage, I'd like to be able to manually...

Greetings, in a small project I'm doing, I need to have a small speaker literally touching the outside of a lithium-Ion battery. Will there be any negative results to these devices being in such close proximity? e.g. noise introduced into the speaker, or odd behavior induced upon the battery? If...

I know I've done this before but for some reason I am stuck. I have a smoke alarm where the battery compartment is being blocked by the permanent power. I can't disconnect or a monitoring alarm will trip (i think?). There is a great deal of tension here and any more force I feel will break the...

Just got a jump start due to having left my trunk ajar last night. Battery was pretty dead ~8.5V. Dead enough that we had to let the jumper car charge it for 10 minutes before it would start. So now it is running in my driveway. How long do you think it will need to charge before it will be...

Will a high current destroy my smartphone battery? I know very little about batteries, but I'm getting really annoyed at having to wait 8 hours for my phone battery to charge (it's a 6 year old smartphone). So I was thinking of raising the 2.1A output of the charger to 3.1A without raising the...

Suppose you have a full battery and an empty one, both the same type, and you hook up positive to positive and negative to negative, and for this particular battery chemistry, the difference in voltage is great enough to commence charging of the negative one. How much current would likely travel...

An electrolyte is neutral, so what allows it to conduct exclusively positive ions in a battery and not electrons?

Water is a conductor of electricity. So if i throw a normal clock or tv remote battery in a bucket of water, will it conduct the electricity, allow a short circuit between the + and - ve terminals and cause some minor explosion? I wanted to try it but got scared. What will happen if i connect...

I know how to calculate current flow across a resister from the voltage, but what about current flow into a battery? Do I need to put a resister in the system so that I know how much current is flowing, or does that drop the voltage to the battery too much? I'm guessing the battery has an...

They have a nominal voltage of 3.7V or 3.6V. They are charged at 4.2V, and disconnected when the charger says 4.0V. Does that mean they are 3.6V when they are empty, or are they overchaged when they are 4.0V? How low in voltage can they go and still have plenty of current? Thanks. I'm designing...

I'm shopping for a battery-powered USB charger. Someone on Amazon says that as current (amperes) increases, battery life decreases exponentially. He says that using a charger with a current of 500mA gets you 30% more total power from the AA batteries than if you used a charger with a current...

So I have an old flip phone here that I wanted to turn into a portable battery pack because its winter break and I am bored. Whole thing is apart and good to go but I was wondering if there is any way to reverse the current. Obviously charging it one way, and then when you use it as a battery...
